Ruleminer

Ruleminer is an experimental tool for performing various data-mining tasks, especially focused on searching for association rules. The aim is to research the association rules mining process and to develop new approaches for solving the related problems.

Features

  • Multiplatform (Java)
  • Open-source (GNU General Public License)
  • Reading data from CSV
  • Searching for impact rules while utilizing various pruning mechanisms that speed-up the search process:
    • Searching top n best rules
    • Pruning trivial rules
    • Searching for "very interesting" impact rules
  • Allowing both positive and negative predicates in the conditions
